We all like good stories. As Christians, we like the dramatic conversion stories. Paul certainly had one of those. Luke must have liked dramatic conversion stories, too because he records Paul's three separate times in the book of Acts (Chapters 9, 22, & 26). The fact that Paul went from persecuting Christians to traveling the world trying to persuade people to become Christians is too much for many of us to resist. In looking back, we can see how God perfectly positioned him to be His instrument to reach many, especially Gentiles. Will hindsight give us the same benefit when we view our lives? We don't have to have been through the depths of addiction, abusive relationships, worldly pursuits, or otherwise far from God to experience the drama of turning away from sin toward the love of God. That is all the drama that is necessary for our conversion and for us to be an instrument in God's hand.
